So they get the arse for you billing them for drinks they drank and yet get to stay for free in your apartment. You should of said a hundo apiece and show them a good time with drinks and food before hand, or maybe some hand on the foreskin.

This post is a bit confusing, but when someone owes me money, I send a Venmo request. A text could be easily forgotten or ignored. Granted, a Venmo request could too, but it has worked every time so far.

So this week/weekend my best friends younger sister (who I’ve known her entire life) and her friends has been staying with my Girlfriend and I while they enjoy New Orleans for spring break. Now of course I don’t mind this because I want them to enjoy themselves and show them good places to eat and drink and just have fun. They’re 21 but about 6-7 years younger than we are so while they’re right in the Middle of being college students we are firmly in the middle of our 20s when obviously your world view is a little different.
To help them out whenever we’d go places especially that are crowded and they didn’t know what to try or what was the speciality of each particular bar I would just order for them and they’d pay me back. No big deal right. So after the first few days I sent them both their bill via Venmo. Well apparently that was a huge insult and break down of social decorum on my part. Had no idea. They said that it was considered rude and insinuated I didn’t trust them to pay me. I told them I didn’t expect them to pay me on their own because I too was once 21 years old and know how college students operate, which is irresponsibly. I’m At the point where I couldn’t give 2 fricks if I didn’t necessarily approach the proper way to send someone a bill via an online app. The most confusing part is was I supposed to get all their phone numbers and text them the amount owed so that they could then go into Venmo and send it to me at their leisure? Otherwise they’d never know how much they owed me total for the food/drinks. I can see for sure how people hate younger people the older they get
TLDR: my college aged girl guests got offended i sent Venmo requests for their bill of things I bought for them instead of them just sending the money to me on their own (when they’d have no way of knowing how much they really owed me or they were ordering)
I told them ultimately to kick rocks and I don’t care if that’s a breath of courtesy because it’s ridiculous. I also said if they have a problem with it (jokingly of course) they could find another place to stay for free in uptown New Orleans.
ETA: they paid me back so I’m not salty over losing money or anything. Just confused that what I did was somehow considered rude

You tracking how much they owe, and billing them before they have a chance to pay you makes you come across as petty and cheap.
Imagine being in their shoes, and getting a bill for someone buying you dinner.
It's kind of pathetic man.Posted on 3/10/20 at 9:24 am to jlovel7
You could at least let us know the school and sorority if you're not going to post pics. Let the OT do it's job from there.

It also lets me easily track in one place if one of them has or hasn't paid yet.

Most places It took me 15 to 20 minutes just to order four drinks. If we had all ordered individually it probably would’ve taken far longer
Why not just admit you were buying underage girls drinks? Lol

Just to order or is this ordering and waiting for them to make the drinks? Where were you?
Just to order. Mainly at the Carousel Bar and Lafitte's. The bartenders were just moving much slower than usual and it was Saturday night. We actually got drinks faster at both places during Mardi Gras.

Hate to say this, and yes they should have assumed this, but did you text them “hey, I’ll order for you and you can pay me back, is that ok” ? Did you get a “yep”. If none of this, well.

If they discussed it beforehand, and they knew they would owe him some amount of money, what he did was the most efficient and clear way to handle it. It doesn't sound like he made it seem like he'd be funding their little party and then came back and billed them. Seems like a well-intended effort to let these girls enjoy themselves carefree and just settle up at the end.
It appears the OT has the logic and emotion of 21 year old girls. I can imagine the dudes reading this that are telling themselves they wold have just let the couple hundred dollars go and feeling like chivalrous white knights right now.

Hmm.... so she's just a step away from being your sister? I think I know where this is going.

This is exactly what happened and what is now happening in this thread. I really thought I was just being efficient and straightforward. They didn't even complain about the amount. The earful I got was strictly that the way I went about it was rude. I'm not that upset over it, I just wanted to check myself to make sure that I was just being more direct than they're likely used to. They're staying at my place for free though so they can kick rocks about my etiquette.

If someone buys a round or puts dinner/whatever on their card we Venmo on the spot. Not “rude” or like anything you described. Sounds likes they just didn’t want to pay

To be fair, I would do the same. And not our of chivalry or white knight feels (since I'm a woman). Its more of an age thing.
My SO's cousin is a student at LSU and I can't imagine a world where we would ever let her or her friends pay us back for food/drinks.

You have a real job and money. They are poor. They expected you to pay for their drinks and food. Then, You pulled a bitch-move when you didn't bother to ask for payback in person but instead sent them a Venmo Bill.
You're a dick. /thread

Pics of your best friend?

don't go buying people shite if you are expecting a return payment. that's dumb and non gentleman like manners if you ask me. You should just ask the girls to have a naked pillow fight as payment recoup.
